Well... if we're going outside bikes...
A Citroen Spacetourer, or Ford Tourneo Custom.
A new lawn, with under turf drainage [clay soil in by back yard]
New bathroom and kitchen
A job that doesn't slowly kill me...
Trigger’s Broom ie
New powder-coat for my 2009 P7
JRA Arch 3 rear-wheel for above (to match front)
New S/S drivetrain for above
Deore brakes for above
New seat for above
Improved sliding-dropout retrofit upgrade for above as the old one slips under braking.
Aaaaaaand a Bearclaw Beaux Jaxon 😑
Oh and a forged stroker ej22
It was a Surly Big Fat Dummy, but now it's this
Muru Cycles Canning Adventure frame
Looks like it would carry all the comforts I need these days for bikecamping
Short travel XC race 29er full suspension - A Yeti SB100 would be ideal
Perfect health and unwavering fitness would be good. I’ll settle for an xtr groupset, some new trail wheels (expensive ones) and a coil shock, given my lack of cash, I think health and fitness are the more likely.
edit RSD Titanium Mayor. It has long chain stays. If ever a bike needed the traction you get from long stays, it’s a fat bike.

Surely long chainstays mean you can ride up stuff without wheeling, but short chainstays would put more weight on it and therefore more grip?
Kelly Brook please.
Not stuff, but other wants....
Ride WHW in a day
Ride Beinn Fadda loop
Run sub 20 5k
Run sub 90 half marathon
Continue weight loss, toning
Prefer the idea of that, than just buying these days.
A very cheap, modern geo enduro bike 160 or 170 travel as an N+1 for bikepark days.
Any suggestions???
Swarf Contour and a Genesis Fugio 30.
Want some titanium bars for the Megatower to match the cranks and possibly go AXS on the Tallboy to bring some consistency in my drive-trains on both bikes.
If the world doesn't tank too much over the next month or so then it should be achievable...its not like I will need the money for the summer Whistler trip at this rate.
Badly want some Red Lyriks for my Aether 7. It’s a raw frame and currently has black 140mm Lyriks but the red ones would really set it off. Massive premium I’d be paying to do that just to change colour and have a slightly newer damper. Plus my front wheel isn’t boost so would need to get adapters etc.
The other want is Ultegra Di2 - I really hate my mechanical 105 hydraulic groupset - always found the shifting a bit vague. I prefer SRAM doubletap but it’s just as cost effective to swap to di2 so I’ve started buying all the bits up I need - but a way off yet.
Would also like Carbon Sram XX1 cranks for both mtb’s but that’s literally never going to happen.
A working rear brake for my Fuel EX, bought new Deore brakes for it back in January only for the rear to fail a week before my week's holiday! Sent to off and it's now stuck in Europe somewhere waiting to be looked at, strange as it was bought from a UK shop.
A new towbar bike rack. Mine is knackered and not really wide enough for my Rocket's wheelbase, it's also getting rusty.
For my riding buddies to com out and ride!! Was meant to all be at Cwmcarn on the uplift tomorrow but it's just me left after they all cancelled due to being ill. Completely understandable in the current climate and Darrell asking people to stay away if they are ill but it will be odd being there on my lonesome. Haven't ridden the track since 2006/7 so hopefully I'll survive!
To get back into the trsining routine, was going really well until the storms knocked me out of the habit and struggled to get back into the rhythm.
A Cotic Solaris Max, should have got one a while back but they were out of stock of Mediums then my parents got flooded out so all funds went on sorting the out. Work has cut back hours too so it may be a while longer for that one.
The Commencal Furious in Boxxer Red

that is a good point and being a bit thick not one I can answer with any authority, but that won’t stop me from spouting potential crap.
I just deleted the crap I wrote as I was confusing myself. I have a trail bike with long wheelbase and long stays. It does climb a treat, but I’ve not ridden it in the mud or other low traction situations so I retract my comment
thisisnotaspoon, you have saved my soul from the damage caused by materialistic desires.
edit: everyone else, you’re not helping my zen with all the lovely bikes is never thought of wanting.
The Commencal Furious in Boxxer Red
Is it just me, or does that look to be a touch darker than Boxxer red?
Apart from to not be working away from home & actually having a life with the woman I married...
A new Ripmo V2 to replace my HD3 & a Matte Jet Chris King headset for the Tempest, to replace the last piece of Selcof stuff, bar the fork.
And if were going really nuts, the Alfa Giulia GTA...
@ogden,
Nice road frame you say?
Have a look in the classifieds...
My want list is all about a Trek Madone sl7 right now, although still have to have a demo on one before dropping any money.
The system 6 posted above is also very tempting
Cotic FlareMax V3 and a new van to replace my ageing and increasingly knackered old Caddy.
